“I have had an incredible career and am thankful for each and every moment of my time at Liverpool, England and LA Galaxy.”

Gerrard has made 710 appearance and scored 185 goals for Liverpool after joining the club as an eight-year-old schoolboy.

His greatest moment in a Liverpool shirt was when he helped to inspire their dramatic comeback win over AC Milan in the Champions League final in 2005.

However, he suffered disappointment in May 2014 when Liverpool missed out on the Premier League title. They faltered late in the campaign when they appeared poised to become English champions for the first time since 1990.
